While all this is happening in Colombia, we're still starting to see some of these demonstrations. There was a park in, I don't know if it was at Queens or Bronx or someone, and violent pro-Hamas demonstrators went right into a traditional Orthodox Jewish community and started trying to provoke them, get in fights, etc., etc., etc., and

I think that's a very unwise idea if I were them because we have already established the principle in the United States that the United States government, when there's a demonstration that it doesn't like, like January 6th, that they take all their security cameras and then they do all of their voice photo reconnaissance or recognition, picture recognition, and they start indicting people

And they'll go through all of those violence. If they see anybody who is starting to provoke a fire to use violence, they will collate that individual's name with their visa status. And if they're not a U.S. citizen and they were committing a crime, then they're going to be deported. It seems obvious to me that that's what they're going to do, and that will create deterrence not to do that.

in Germany by a cathedral and somebody had insulted his wife and he had scuffled, I think it was with a Palestinian protester in Germany. And so I walked over to talk to the police person. But my polite suggestion was that if you were in someone else's country, that you withstand the provocations and not reply in kind because you're a guest there. And that's always worked well for me.
